The debt ceiling is unconstitutional - President Biden should ignore it

The commentary I delivered over the radio on January 27, 2023 began with these words: “You have no doubt heard about the debt ceiling issue, right? Well, The Debt Ceiling law itself is UNCONSTITUTIONAL.” Given that I have much more space here to develop the arguments than in a four-minute radio address, I am going to delay explaining why it’s unconstitutional and making my recommendation to President Biden in order to give some background. Let’s start with definitions and the law.
